The World Needs More Love

Love. We all need love. It might not come in the form we want. It could come from a passing stranger. It’s wonderful to receive.

People who say “I Love You.” I love hearing the words, “I Love You.” I realize it might not be “a thing” for you. That’s okay too. But as they say, love makes the world go around.

Forgiveness. I haven’t always been able to forgive, but when I have, I was much better for it. Practice forgiving the people who have wronged you.

Even if they are no longer with us, you will be much happier. Perhaps you can forgive yourself too and let go of the expectations you have for yourself and others.

Sunshine and Nature. Some of us live our lives inside. Try taking a break from electronica. Remember when we could roam at the beach, drink in the sun, and smell the salty air? All of us need to hear the gentle caress of a waterfall in our ears, to renew ourselves and stay connected to what truly matters in life: Self-renewal and being one with nature.

People with a “Beginner’s Mind.” I don’t know it all. I notice when I am willing to give up my opinion of what I think others are, and also give up thinking I know something, I learn a lot more than I would have if I had it all figured out.
